For some counties, two installments in November

Jul. 11, 2007

Gov. Mitch Daniels is hinting at the possibility of a special legislative session on property tax relief. But treasurers in surrounding counties say any changes won't likely affect collection dates.

"I don't know what they can do to help it now," said Donna Bowling, Montgomery County treasurer. "It should have been done a long time ago."

Many counties have already collected the first installment of property taxes, and others plan to collect later this month. But Warren County treasurer Gail Altman said she hopes a special session would provide a change.

"A lot of people have had complaints, so I'm hoping that they do something," she said. "I really don't know how it's going to work, whether they're going to change refunds or not. We haven't gotten any information from the state."

Here is a list of past and anticipated collection dates.

Tippecanoe County collected the first installment June 15 and will collect the second Nov. 13.

Benton County will collect the first installment July 25 and will collect the second Nov. 12.
